thanks

I've used White Lightning for years, dries quickly and isn't sticky--keeps the chain clean, but I don't have the kind of winter riding here in the Southwest US that you do in the UK (you sometimes get more rain over a weekend than we do in 6 months.
I use Profi Drylube in wet and muddy Scotland, but it's not particularly cheap and I have to import it specially from Germany.
Finish line 'dry' teflon lube's good, it doesn't flake off like dry wax and lasts longer on wet rides ime, leaves more of a film than wax but is cleaner than oil. It does leave some sticky gunk but don't they all?
Rock N Roll Extreme is what I've been using for winter riding over the last couple of years
Rock N roll +1
For me Rock & Roll's v-good, Purple Extreme's far far better.
i got some wet lube..bein in manchester...always wet etc motorex of switzerland-bikeline turned my nice clean chain black..now im no expert have little or no clue wen it comes to this kinda stuff..but i need to get some proper stuff ... where can i get this rock n roll or purple xtreme...chain lube im assuming?
I get purple extreme from ebay.
Rock n Roll Extreme all year for the last 4 years, not looking to change.
I've tried both rock n roll and purple extreme and wasn't that impressed . may have a look at that profi stuff ben .
+1 for white lightning
Squirt
Another for White Lightening, I use the Epic Ride stuff.
currently on the Muc-Off Ceramic Wet lube - seems good and not much sticky gunk
Purple Extreme for me. Been using it for 4 or 5 years. OK its expensive but not messy and does the job.
